Pakistan Studies, Islamiyat and Urdu: Post your doubts here!

[exploded diper]

And Help needed in these two questions:

Q. Why was the East India Company involved in the Subcontinent during the 17th century?
Q. Why were British able to take control of lands in the subcontinent between 1750 and 1850?

In the Second Question, i thought about mentioning the INDIAN WEAKNESS and MILITARY INFERIORITY.. and the BRITISH STRENGTH... and then making another paragraph about how the INDIAN states were divided and disunited into various territories so the British defeated them separately and increased control.
But in the marking scheme it says .. to tell about Battle of Plassey and Governor Generals and Taxations and all that! Confused :/

r u sure u checked the right ms?

Reasons for Involvement of EIC in subcontinent in the 17th century:

→ The British had heard rumors about Indians vast natural resources, as it was called ''Golden Sparrow''. It was rich in minerals and trade items such as silk, cotton, salt peter, indigo, yarn and cloth. The British wanted to exploit these natural resources somehow and set up a trading system with this area as it had a potential for a great trade profit. India was rich in the supply of cotton and due to the Industrial Revolution in Britain, they needed raw cotton and India provided an excellent opportunity for the supply of Cotton. Also India was a good market for sale of their manufactured goods. Seeing a profitable trade, they set up their trading posts in India. In order to ensure the continuation and promotion of their trade, they remained involved in the subcontinent during the 17th century.
→ Initially, they had started trade with the East Indies. But the Dutch had already established trading posts over there and would not let anyone else share in the trade. Since they were unable to get penetrate into the Spice Trade of East Indies they had to turn towards India as an alternative.
→ India had a strategic position on the globe. It lay in a vital and important area linked with all the trade routes. By establishing trading posts at India they could have control over all the sea routes. This would give regional supremacy to the British and the Royal Navy.
→ They wanted to propagate Christianity and westernize the Indians. They considered themselves as superior and and wanted to spread western culture all over the world. They thought of themselves as the most civilized nation of the world and wanted to increase its influence.
→ Britain had rivalry with other European Nations such as the French, Dutch and Portuguese. They wanted to oust them and they established their trading posts in India. This way they would have control over a major supplier of raw materials and involvement with the Indian Subcontinent would enhance their economy and thus elevating them into a higher position as compared to Other European Nations.

Are all these valid reasons?

In the Marking Scheme, at the start of their level 4 answers, it says ''Explains atleast 2 factors''.. which means only 2 are required? :/

Sindhi was promoted more than any other regional language between 1947-1988. Give reasons for ur ans whether u agree or disagree?​

Sindhi, a regional language is popular in the province of Sindh. After the partition in 1948 Sindh literary board has been set up to promote sindhi literature n magazines were published in this lang. In 1954 Bazm-e-talibemaula was also established with the aim to promote this regional lang. Important sindhi authors r Pir M. rashdi, G.Allanan faqir Nabi Baksh. Sarmast acedmy has been set up after a great sindhi poet Sachal Sarmast. The Sindhiology department has been set up at Sinsh uni Jamshoro.​

Balochi, the popular lang. of Balochistan has been promoted b/w theyears 1947-1988. radio Pakistan Karachi has made its broadcasts in Balochi. Notable Balochi poets are Atta Saad n Ishaq Shameen. Other well-known writers r Gul khan nazir n Azad jamal Din. who r workin actively to promote this lang. The Balochi literary Association has been set up in the years followin the independence n it publishes various monthly n weekly magazines. The establishment of Quetta tv station has also helped to promote the lang.​

Pashto, the popular lang. of KPK has been significantly developed over the years. This lang. has provided much resistnace to the british rule therefore it was important to develop this lang. The Peshawar uni was established within the three years of independence n also an academy was established in 1954 which was run under Abdul Qadir Khan who compiled a pushto dictionary which is internationally acceptable. Since that timepos-graduate degrees r given in pusho at this uni. ​

Punjabi. the local lang. of punjab has been popular among the sufi poets n writers who used it to promote their romantic folk poetry. B/w the period 1947-1988 Punjabi therter has gained unprecedented popularity. Tv programmes r broadcasted in Punjabi which greatly help to promote this lang. The govt. has ensured its development by givin support to those institutions who r usin it. The tv, film n theatre had given immense impetus to the development of Punjabi. Degrees upto MA level r given in Punjabi at Punjab Uni Lhr.​

Conclusively it can b said that all regional languages have been promoted durin this period greatly but sindhi has experienced the peak of development. Even after this period the influence of this lang. continues to develop.​

I wrote this ans for sindhi u can change it accordin to ur requirement!​

i think u shud mention "wadaray ka beta" in da promotion of sindhi

Someone Please Help me.
How do we answer those questions that say ''How successfull'' and stuff.. in the 14 mark questions.
The marking scheme says we have to tell both successes and failures? How? Successes in one paragraph? Failures in other? Please tell me the pattern.

Also what about those timeline questions.. like..

"The Lucknow pact was the most important attempt to seek a solution to the problems in the subcontinent between 1909-1919''. Do you agree? Explain. (14)

Are we supposed to explain all the events? and if yes, then start from Morley minto reforms.. or Lucknow Pact? :/

start from lucknow pact
